Overview
A China Legal Team Built for Cross-Border Business
LI&SHI China Counsel is a China-based legal counsel team serving international businesses, investors and entrepreneurs. We combine PRC legal knowledge, bilingual communication and practical commercial judgement to help clients protect rights, manage risk and execute China-related projects. Our work covers disputes and arbitration, intellectual property, foreign investment and M&A, employment law, data privacy and regulatory compliance.
We are built for clients who need more than translation. We help international decision-makers understand how Chinese law works in practice, what risks matter most, and how to move from legal analysis to executable strategy.
